795 Hope St, Providence“I love this quirky little gift shop! It's definitely a must-stop on my Christmas shopping run, especially if you have someone on your list who has a love for pop culture. They have a cute little section filled with kitschy pop culture-centric books, cards, decor, etc. They also have a wide variety of Rhode Island-themed items, perfect if you're making a care package. Humorous knick knacks, stationary, patches, souvenirs, etc. - it can all be found here. The staff is friendly and helpful and the prices are reasonable (maybe a little high but that's to be expected with a local mom-and-pop store). One of my favorite little gift shops on the East Side!”
“This lovely shoppe is co-owned by two women who are RISD grads. Everything in the store is handmade, including candles, jewelry, blankets and wall art. It's hard to choose what to buy because everything in there is gorgeous and high-quality. I chatted with a friendly sales associate named Beth who not only told me all about the store's history, but also suggested local eateries and scenic views so that I could get the full Pawtuxet Village experience. I envision myself being a repeat customer here!”
“From the moment you walk in you begin your journey into exploration of crystals, oils, infused sprays and so much more. I could see getting gifts for others here however today was about me ? Such a pleasant vibe so much to see and most importantly the owner is very interactive and found her to be so positive ??”
“An eclectic variety of local artists’ aPaintings/photos, creations, crystals, pendulums, jewelry & much more. Reasonable prices. Very friendly owner of the shop was there. Parking in front of store on the street. Definitely a place I want to go back to!!!”
“An extremely fun shop with lots of different types of art from local artists. Everything in there is meticulously placed in a way that makes me want to purchase everything! I love the stickers especially and the very specific Rhode Island themed products.”
“I really like this store. There is a great variety of unique country decor items from wall art work to table runners. Love the discount room as well. The owner is very helpful and fun.”

The girl wrapped it and was very kind...will be back and tell all my friends & family to shop here!!!”
“This is quite literally one of the best gift shops in RI that caters to a refined eye. It's my personal go-to and it has a great vibe--you end up browsing for longer than planned, but there are so many great finds. Highly recommend.”

252 Thayer St, Providence“Since customer service is not what it used to be, I want to take a moment to praise Spectrum-India and their owner for taking the time to fix an issue I had with a purchase. I am so grateful this was the outcome and wish more stores offered this level of service to their customers. Thanks Lisa!”
“Super cool store! A very large selection of prints, magnets, stickers, pins, etc. Half of the stock are products with a millennial sense of humor and the other half are gorgeous artistic pieces. Bought myself some pins and a necklace, employee was very helpful with the jewelry :D”

“I love this store!! One of my go tos for gifts. There is always something different and unique. Staff is always friendly and helpful. A definite if you are looking for a different gift!”
“I saw the ads on Facebook but didn't think it was real. Then they actually have a store front in ri?! The shop associate was so nice when I asked about online price versus in store prices. This is a great store and cute merch.”

233 Westminster St, Providence“Great selection of gifts and home goods! They have an especially notable selection of great cookbooks. On my last visit here, I picked up a copy of "Melted Cheese" containing recipes for my most beloved food. Service was very quick and friendly! Some of the items seem a bit overpriced, but other items are reasonable. In the past, I have purchased some small dishes for entertaining in cool finishes such as a bright gold to use for appetizers. Great place to stop in where you're in downtown Providence.”

130 Main St, East Greenwich“My mom has been taking me here since I was a little girl. I'm an adult now and I will always come back! The women who work here are so warm, welcoming, and helpful. They have a wide variety of fairly priced gifts. Side note: the smell and decor inside is to die for ! This place is a true East Greenwich classic. Thanks for always helping around the holidays, Green door! ❤️”
“Great store. The owners and employees are awesome and the store is great has all you need . Go in and see for yourselves and you will definitely leave with something I promise. Say hi to the employees they are so helpful and pleasant ?”
“There is plenty to look at and enjoy. Cards, books, clothes, jewelry, home accessories, nice and helpful staff. If you sign up you with both Hallmark and Paper Shop, you can earn lots of coupons. Hallmark card prices are high but they do have lower priced section. They also have a tiny , really cute card section where price is right. Not as many stickers or ribbons and wrappings, which is disappointing . Candy, stuffed animals, books, Vera Bradley , Kendra Scott jewelry, lots of bracelets, candles~ I could go on forever. Handicap parking near door and doors aren't too heavy but awkward to struggle the doors open if you have a walker or wheelchair. People- staff and other customers are willing to hold door for you if around. Nice atmosphere! Worth a visit!”
“Can't believe I haven't reviewed one of my favorite shops in PVD. Walked in the first time when it was near Rocket to Mars 6 years ago, when I would come down from Boston to visit my now husband. Since then it's always been a joy to visit Dana and her sweet pups. No matter the space (I think this is the fourth since I've been shopping there, it's always full of lovely little handmade and vintage items. Feels more like a museum of beautiful oddities than a store. The way that everything is displayed is so artful. I make it a point to gift something from here to everyone I love. Please support your local community and support this magical shop.”
“I love this store! The layout makes for easy browsing, and the staff is always super helpful and energetic. I stop in each month to pick up client gifts and check out the new arrivals. In December I found the softest blanket on sale! Needless to say I grabbed a bunch to gift, and also kept one for myself.”
“There was a counter, greeter, and social distancing, very clean, organized, fast efficient check out and great Happy Holidays, and Thank you for shopping with us today.Perfect excellence in Customer Service♡”
“So many fun things in this store! Lots of gifts and fun items for all ages. For kids, they have lots of fun candy and toys/games but the fun, offbeat kind.
Would recommend for gift buying.”
“What a fun little store! We stumbled upon this shop after dinner while walking downtown providence. One side of the store is filled with home decor and jewelry and the other side has clothing, sunglasses, hats, etc. You can easily spend over an hour here. My niece, sister and I bought some jewelry, they had quite the selection. They be staff was also kind and helpful. I will definitely be back.”
“Replaced my half dead expensive flowers with a less expensive bouquet..something you could buy at stop and shop
Btw..customer service never responded..
Update. Local owner Ted reached out with a surprise box of Chocolate covered fruits and a promise to do better in the future. A class act Ted!”
“I was visiting from out of state and decided to stumble in on a Friday afternoon. I’ve never seen such a well curated store that catered to so many different interests and needs. I’m so sad there’s not one where I live, but I’m looking forward to my next visit!”
